How to Check the Power Supply for Your Metabo Submersible Pump
If you’re dealing with problems regarding your submersible pump, particularly concerning its power supply, this guide will help you through the process. Metabo’s submersible pumps are designed for private use, mainly for draining flooded areas or irrigation. Ensuring a solid power supply is crucial to the proper functioning of your pump. Here’s how to check it effectively and safely. Understanding the Importance of a Stable Power Supply
A stable power supply is essential for the effective operation of your submersible pump. If there are any issues with electricity, your pump might fail to start, run inefficiently, or face technical problems that could lead to further damage. Here are some common issues to look out for:
No Power: The pump doesn’t operate at all. Intermittent Power: The pump runs sporadically. Underperformance: The pump starts but doesn’t pump water efficiently. Steps for Checking Power Supply
Before turning on your Metabo submersible pump, follow these steps to ensure that the power supply is functioning correctly:
- Inspect the Power Cord and Plug
Check the power cable for any signs of wear or damage.

Look for frays, cuts, or exposed wires. Examine the plug—make sure there are no cracks and that the prongs are intact. 2. Test the Power Outlet
Use another appliance (like a lamp) to verify if the power outlet is working. Plug the other device into the same outlet and see if it turns on. If the outlet isn’t functional, check for a circuit breaker that may have tripped, or consult an electrician. 3. Check the Extension Cords
If you are using an extension cord, ensure it has sufficient conductor diameter to handle the load. Remove any kinks or damage to help prevent loss of power. Ensure that the extension cord is completely unrolled if it’s on a reel. This enhances safety and performance. 4. Verify Mains Voltage
Check that the mains voltage matches the specifications mentioned in the pump’s manual. Voltage mismatches can lead to malfunctioning. If you suspect the voltage is too low, it could affect the pump’s operation, so consider using a dedicated circuit for the pump. 5. Test the Float Switch
Ensure that the float switch can move freely without obstruction. If it’s stuck or not functioning properly, it may prevent the pump from switching on.

Ensure the float switch cable is appropriately fixed and not damaged or pulled too tightly. Troubleshooting Common Power Issues
If your pump does not turn on after the checks above, refer to this troubleshooting guide:
ISSUE POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Pump does not run No mains voltage Check power cord, plug, and the outlet
Motor overheated Blocked pump or continuous use Let the pump cool and check for blockages
Float switch malfunction Float switch is stuck or obstructed Check float switch mobility and position
Motor hums but does not start Pump blocked by foreign objects Clean the impeller and check for obstructions
Safety Precautions
Always unplug the pump before conducting any checks or repairs to avoid the risk of electric shock. Ensure the area around the pump is dry while you are checking the power supply. If there are any signs of overheating or electrical damage, it’s safer to consult a qualified electrician rather than attempting repairs yourself. Conclusion
Checking the power supply of your Metabo submersible pump is crucial for its effective operation. With careful inspection of the cables, socket, and switches, you can diagnose and resolve many issues on your own.
